Browse filesThe entire Western Canon as a dataset. Or, at least, a part of it.
Several translations of the Bible. Various ebooks. I took a large list of ebooks and filtered it to only books that contained one of the following keywords:
the iliad, by homer
the odyssey, by homer
euclid
Plato
aristotle
by Cicero
by Saint Augustine
Thomas Aquinas
galileo
copernicus
kepler
martin luther
Descartes
Spinoza
Leibniz
Isaac Newton
david hume
Kant
fichte
hegel
kierkegaard
Nietzsche
by adam smith
wittgenstein
Einstein
Bohr
George Boole
Gottlob Frege
henri bergson
About 500 ebooks total.
I then further refined the list to remove as much noise as I possibly could. Their license allowed me to remove their license, so I used various scripts to do so.
This is not a complete list by any means. There is also still a good bit of noise in the dataset, such as emails, phone numbers, etc from the contributors. This book also contains a mix of text in both the author's native language and English translations. And there are some repeats across this dataset. And there might be some formatting errors here and there. As time goes on I hope to cultivate a better open source dataset of the entire Western Canon.
